Please make money.

Heat comes out of nowhere, but is always so intense.

Alia Oh Kasan now spans three fields: games, movies, and music. If she is quiet in one area for a while, she will make a sudden move next time.

Yamashita acted decisively and drove his small van to fill a box with freshly recorded records. As a result, the shelves were empty before the end of the year.

The reason is that the record company was very sneaky and said that there might be a New Year's greeting card handwritten by Aaliyah in the record, but there were only ten copies.

New Year's greeting cards are the familiar New Year's cards, postcards and the like.

In the past, it was used to send holiday greetings to distant relatives and friends, that is, those who could not be met during the first month of the year.

Later on, there was no such boundary. It became a habit. I would send them during the Chinese New Year anyway. I would feel impolite if I didn’t.

Every household in Chongqing sends out hundreds of New Year's greeting cards every year. With the popularization of computers, printers have gradually replaced brushes.

However, to show courtesy, even on a printed greeting card, one should add a sentence by hand to express good luck, encouragement, or report on recent developments.

Similar to Donghuang’s postcards, the New Year’s greeting cards also carry lottery numbers, and a lottery is held every year.

You can't say there's anything wrong with the record company doing this. It's New Year's Day, is there anything wrong with including a New Year's greeting card in a record?

President Alia is very busy and it is impossible for her to write every one of them by hand. Is there any problem with writing ten?

I mixed these ten New Year's greeting cards into the first batch of 8 million physical albums. If someone is lucky enough to buy one, then I should wish him/her a Happy New Year. That's right, right?

What Yamashita didn’t say was that he also quietly opened ten albums, but his luck was average and he didn’t win…

Looking at the last album left on the shelf, he casually put it in his arms, planning to listen to it in the car later.

Well, it’s really not for drawing cards, really - I mean, how can a store owner be a gambler?

He closed the shop door, started the minivan, and headed for the nearest?.

Although I said I was listening to it in the car, when I opened the glove box, I could clearly see an unsealed album inside...

I picked up a CD and put it in, listening to the catchy song "Stay by My Side". Yamashita-kun hummed the song and felt that it should be a hit.

I've heard this as a lot of people's ringtones recently. If pop music has a password, this might be one of the keys to decrypt it, right?

But compared to this song, he still prefers the song "time~after~time".

Reminds me of childhood sweethearts or something...

When he was a child, there was a little girl next door. At that time, he didn't understand feelings, but he liked her instinctively.

The purest love - even now that I am getting older, I still like it in my dreams at midnight.

But the name has long been blurred, and even the face is not clear.

Moreover, because I followed my father's job transfer at that time, we spent very little time together and did not have a very deep friendship.

When we drove to the parking lot of the shrine, it seemed that there were not many customers. Yamashita put on his hat, put on his backpack, and tightened his shoulder straps.

"Phew - I hope the worship goes well and the new year has to start well... But after all, I still want a girlfriend or something."

He felt something in his arms making him feel uncomfortable. He took it out and saw that it was an album. He wanted to put it in the car, but stopped when he saw Alia's smile.

"Alia, Cassan, if you can see this, please bless me to find a girlfriend this year. Please, I am your loyal fan..."

Muttering these words, Yamashita-kun began to climb the mountain, and soon after he went up, another car drove over.

Aki Masata got off the bus and whispered some rumors about the shrine to her companions, then tightened her scarf.

"Ah, I'm so envious, the new car is so comfortable..."

My companion knocked on the car door and said, "We were all the same employees at the beginning, why are you so lucky, Aki?"

Why do An and Yumiko try so hard to give Alia a surprise?

You can tell from the treatment of the subordinates in these entertainment industry empires—all of them are extremely wealthy…

The Tamagotchi development team led by Aki Masaki still receives dividends, and was even given a new car at the end of this year.

Gold medal game producers like Miyamoto and Tajiri were given high-rise apartments.

Aki Masaki herself felt quite nervous, mainly because she felt that she only provided the idea and should not have the right to share the profits.

But An and Yumiko said that this was the arrangement of the eldest lady: You don’t want the eldest lady to hear that you rejected her kindness, right?

In fact, it's not just Aki Masata. Alia gives similar treatment to other game producers and toy creators.

As long as I'm still selling and generating income, you'll have a share of what I have.

A competitor wanted to poach his employees, but when he saw the treatment, he was so scared that he quickly took his employees back.

Don’t come over here. If you come over again, you will be a rebel. Then I’m afraid you will refuse to contact me. I’m afraid the young lady will misunderstand you.

This kind of talent premium payment not only brings high loyalty of the department's own talents, but also attracts the attention of other practitioners.

All of a sudden, the siphon effect of the entertainment empire in Sakura Empire became more and more obvious. There were so many resumes to choose from that An and Yumiko even said they were full.

People like Maki Masaki who were the 'first' to follow Alia would be treated as model talents, just like the model room of the sales department.

But Aki Masaki herself was very confused and didn't know what else she could do. After all, the copyright of Tamagotchi had been sold to Jiang Tianyi.

My companion suggested that we go to the shrine and ask the gods for their opinion.

This is just like what Boss Huo said when he was chatting with Alia before, many big bosses believe in Feng Shui and believe in gods and Buddhas.

Ailia asked Boss Huo whether he believed it or not, and Boss Huo said he believed in Mazu.

As for those who pray to gods and practice feng shui, they themselves know how lucky their wealth is and have no confidence in keeping it.

Aki Masaki is much better than them, she is just a little confused for the time being and wants to worship God for inspiration.

"As for me, I want to achieve better results and repay the young lady for her kindness!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it really sounds like a statement full of the atmosphere of a Warring States samurai... But, this shrine is for marriage."

The two of them climbed up while chatting. When they reached the top of the shrine, there were only three or four tourists around, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

"Are you really asking for a marriage, not a career?"

"Hey, if you want to help that popular Oh Ka-san in her career, you might as well buy a few more albums to support her."

"I would like to, but I can't buy it..."

"Ah? Will the members also be unable to buy it?"

"I'm not a member of the record side. I'm on the toy side."

Two people were standing in line, and a man turned back from the front, and something on his body fell down when he passed by them.

Masaki Masaki quickly called out to the other person: "Hey! Sir! Your things fell!"

Yamashita-kun looked back and then looked inside the down jacket: "Ah, the pocket is torn, it's mine... Thank you."

It was an album of Aaliyah, and the close-up of Aaliyah on the album showed her smiling heart-warmingly.

"Here—are you a fan of hers, too?"

Gently brushing off the snowflakes on it, Aki Masaki handed the album to the other person.

Yamashita-kun held the album but didn't let go. Instead, he looked at her absentmindedly: "You... I'm sorry, have we met somewhere before?"

Masaki Aki also looked at the other person's face, and after a long moment, she said with some uncertainty: "Are you from Nara?"

"Yes, I went to elementary school in Nara, and I went to Koriyama High School for high school."

The companion looked left and right: "Are you classmates?"

"It feels familiar. I think it was when I was a kid - maybe in elementary school or junior high school. What's your name?"

"Yamashita Tetsuya, what about you?"

"My name is Masata Aki... We were classmates, right? Yamashita... I do remember this last name!"

“Maybe because of my father’s work, I studied briefly in several schools in Nailiang.”

Yamashita's father is an engineer in bridge construction. Because of his work, he travels around all year round, and his family also follows the project plan.

Both parties felt that the shrine looked familiar and were interested in chatting about it. The companion looked at the shrine and thought it was truly amazing.

It has already taken effect even though I haven’t even signed for it yet?

Looking at the album that was passed to me and the torn plastic cover that fell to the ground.

"Ah--Mr. Yamashita, this album just fell down. Is it okay?"

"Oh, it's okay. This is okay. This is a product sold in my store."

"Eh? You're the owner of a store? I'm so envious... Hey, Aki, didn't you say you couldn't buy it? Why don't you ask Mr. Yamashita if he has it in stock?"

Yamashita-kun's ears turned slightly red, indicating that it didn't matter whether he bought it or not. If they liked it, they could listen to this one first, and he would save a copy for them when the new product arrived.

His companion curled his lips and said, "Look at these two, they are blushing. They have started, they have started - a good start is better than anything else."

Okay, although I know there is no such thing as love at first sight, but it turns out that encounters are inevitable when you go out for a walk.

Aki, Aki, this is all I can do to help you...

The light bulb companion consciously moved away and let the two chat.

Love at first sight is false, but attraction does exist, and perhaps this is also a part of fate.

The Kami of this shrine! Please give a childhood sweetheart who falls from the sky to a good girl like me who is eager to help friends!

When the time comes, I will vigorously help you promote your effectiveness!

——If there really isn’t a handsome childhood sweetheart who falls from the sky, then it would be fine if I could win the lottery, Lotto 7 or something like that.

I casually tore off the damaged plastic cover of the album. My obsessive-compulsive friend simply couldn't stand the damn flying torn plastic sheet.

However, the ownership of this album has been confirmed to be hers. The two of them are busy reminiscing about the past now, so who cares about listening to the songs?

My companion, who was not a fan of Alia, thought it was okay and thought he had picked up an album for free, so he went back to listen to it to see if it was good.

But after opening it, the New Year's card fell off, and the handwriting on it was so beautiful that his companions couldn't help but be dazzled.

It was so bright that it even interrupted the two people in front who were walking side by side: "What does this mean? Aki, do you understand?"

Aki Masaki, who was reminiscing about her childhood with Yamashita-kun and confirming each other's past, gathered the hair around her ears, apologized quietly, and walked back.

"What is this? Is this the New Year's card you bought?"

"No, it fell out of the album."

"That's the gift - hope... I'm like a star... you're like the moon? This is the word for light..."

She had a hard time understanding it, but Yamashita-kun came over to take a look and understood it immediately.

"It's Chinese characters: May I be like a star and you be like the moon, shining brightly every night."

"Eh? Can you understand, Yamashita-kun?"

"Well, when I was in college, I studied literature."

"You must be kidding. It's amazing that you can read it so fluently!"

His companions thought that Yamashita-kun had become half a level more handsome. It was true that being knowledgeable would really add points. "So what does this mean?"

"I hope I am like a star and you are like the moon, and every night our bright and white light can shine together."

"……romantic!"

"Compared to romance, I think you should be more concerned about the New Year's card itself."

Carefully taking the New Year's card, Yamashita-kun looked at the private seal and handwriting on it and let out a long sigh.

"You are so lucky. This is one of the ten New Year's cards handwritten by Alia. Judging from the number, it should be the seventh one."

"……what?"

Masaki blinked, a little confused: "Is it... a very precious gift?"

"It's not precious anymore. The market is currently hyping it up to a million yen."

In Sakura Empire, the fan economy is a very mature industry chain, and there are even many scammers operating in it.

For example, there are scammers who take advantage of fans' desire for their idols' autographs and imitate the signatures of these famous artists.

There was a case in which more than 6,000 people were defrauded in one year, with the case value reaching 30 million yen.

Just an autograph can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of yen, and fans still enjoy it.

There are currently very few Alia Oh Kassan autographed peripherals that are recognized by everyone, which is not in line with her inexplicably popular cosmic will.

Before this New Year's card, the only public signature that everyone was sure of was the autographed demo machine No. 04 at the GBA launch event.
